"Indeed, The Very Best!"
I purchased the "Anthology" CD and although this collection consisted of 28 of Rick's finest recordings, there were still some tracks that in my opinion, were too essential to be excluded from a Rick James compilation. Being a long time Rick James fan, I consider myself an authority when it comes to the best of the 'Punk-Funk King's' catalog. Well, the tracks that were missing from the "Anthology" I've found in "Bustin' Out: The Very Best Of Rick James". . . "Ghetto Life" (which is one of Rick's most powerful musical statements) "Dream Maker" (one of the most soulful ballads from Rick's early career) the full length version of "17" and a version of "You Are My Starship" that rivals Norman Conner's version. Between the 2 of these compilations "Bustin' Out" is the more comprehensive overview of this most accomplished and complex musical artist. R. I. P.


KDs Opinion
Although I would have included
some other songs, it was overall a good effort. This compilation was pretty comprehensive.


A gifted musical genius.
This is about as good as it gets far as a greatest hits collection goes with this man. Rick James definitely bought something different to the music industry some 30 years ago in a good way of course. But i still feel like the true music fans of this artist, including myself is being cheated a little bit. Why don't Motown stop jiving around and go ahead on and release Rick James other individual albums on cd. Can you say stuff like "Fire it Up, Garden of Love, Throwin' Down, Cold Blooded and Reflections". This were some very nice recordings by the 80's funk master. Rick James was a true musical genius and his songs will forever live on. Do the right thing and release those mentioned titles above. .


Bustin' Out
James. A Good Collection by Mr. My standout song in this collection is the song, "You and I" (8:03 - extended cut!). I've admired Rick James work for many years, buy never bought any. . . until this disc! Four stars!!.


Better than rap
he's everything they said and more. going by what my uncles said, i thought I'd take a chance on
rick james. actually, i'm
pretty tired of this formula stuff thats all rap and no music,
how refreshing to hear real stuff from a pioneer. wish i was
around earlier to really appreciate his stuff. Long life for
mr. james music. gonna tell all my friends. thanks,
willie.
